Saul did not need permission to go to Damascus as he could travel where ever he liked, but he did need permission from the High Priest to go to Damascus and arrest persons who were following "The Way", which was the expression used to mean following Jesus' teachings.
The High Priest could have been one of three persons as we are not exactly sure of the date this happened. Caiaphas was nearing the end of his time in 34 A.D. and Jonathan Ben Hanan was High Priest in 36 A.D., with Theophilus being High Priest in 37 A.D. It was in this time frame that Saul was traveling to Damascus on this mission.
The two people Jesus appeared to on the road to Damascus were Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) and Ananias. Jesus appeared to Saul in a blinding light and spoke to him, causing him to become a believer and change his ways. Ananias was instructed by Jesus to go to Saul and heal him of his blindness.
Ananias, a disciple of Jesus, restored Paul's sight through a miraculous healing after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
Saul had a vision on the way to Damascus and Jesus spoke to him. Jesus appointed Saul as His servant to take the gospel to the gentiles.The story of Saul's conversion is found in Acts 9:3-8. The story is told again in acts when Paul is reported talking to King Agrippa: Acts 26.
saul viera attended Paramount High School in southern California it is not known whether he graduated from there or not but he did attend paramount high and it is said he brought the norteno style.
There is no specific mention in the Bible of Paul spending 3 years with Jesus to become an apostle. Paul did have a transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, which led to his conversion and subsequent calling as an apostle to the Gentiles.
a bar, to cure his headache from that blinding white light on the road. :-)
In Acts chapter 9 it gives the account of Saul's conversion. Verse 4 said that he heard a voice ask him: "Saul why are you persecuting me?" The voice identified himself as Jesus and gave Saul specific instructions to go into the city of Damascus and from there it would be revealed to him what to do. Saul was stricken with blindness so he had to be led into the city. Jesus had appeared in a vision to one of his disciples, named Ananias, and instructed him to meet Saul. Once doing so, Ananias cured Saul of his blindness and filled him with Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit must have also helped him with his "spiritual blindness" because after staying some days with Ananias, he immediately started his preaching work.
Well saul later called paul was persecuting christens and senticing them to death. On his way to Damascus there was the brightest light Paule had even seen. God sent an angle to him and said "Saul why are you persecuting my people?" And so God made Paule blind. And God sent one of his followers to go to him and make him see again.
God commanded Ananias to go to Straight Street in Damascus and lay his hands on Saul to restore his sight and baptize him. This encounter helped convert Saul, who later became the apostle Paul.
Well yes in a way, as how Saul was on his way to Damascus, but how far away I'm not certain, all know is that he was on his way their. hopefully this help, please people if you know more please up grade this answer.More info:According to the account in Acts 9, Saul's journey to Damascus was almost complete when the Lord appeared to him. Acts 9:3 - As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. [NKJV]Since Saul was blinded by the encounter, and had to be led "by the hand" the rest of the way by his companions (v.8), it seems to be a deliberate consideration on the part of the Lord, who could have struck Saul down at any point, that they did not have very far to go to complete their journey.
The two people Jesus appeared to on the road to Damascus were Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) and Ananias. Jesus appeared to Saul in a blinding light and spoke to him, causing him to become a believer and change his ways. Ananias was instructed by Jesus to go to Saul and heal him of his blindness.
Saul was also called Paul which we know him as better. In the book of Acts in chapter 9 it tells of Sauls conversion while travelling to Damascus. Saul was still working against the Christians when he was "intercepted" by Jesus. Jesus asked him why he was persecuting him. After saul was blinded by the light that shone from Jesus, Jesus told him to go into the city where he would receive further instructions. In Damascus a disciple of Christ named Ananias met with Saul (under Jesus's direction) and told him what Jesus told him to say. Saul's blindness was healed and he began preaching the good news about Jesus. In chapter 13, the Holy Spirit told them that Barnabas and Saul were to be set apart for the work to which Jesus had called them. This was the commissioning of Saul to begin preaching Jesus to people full time.

Saul was not going to Calvary, but to Damascus when he was converted to Christianity. Jesus said to him, "Saul, Saul why are you persecuting Me?" Saul said,"Who are You, Lord?" To which Jesus replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Saul then asked, "Lord what do you want me to do?" Jesus told him to arise and go into the city, Damascus, and you will be told what to do." Read the entire account of Paul's conversion to Christianity in the Holy Scriptures. The book of Acts, chapter 9.
St. Paul was originally Saul of Tarsus, who hated Christians and wanted them all imprisoned (or worse). After his conversion on the road to Damascus, Saul adopted the name Paul, to show a change from his former life.
It gave them permission to go to Virginia to start a new English colony!!
Following Jesus' instructions, Saul met and spent several days with Ananias in Damascus. Acts 9:6-17 "And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do... And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth... Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me..."
